A Local Favorite for Over 35 Years

Located at 115 Brook Ave., the Donut Shop is your one-stop shop for all things donuts. If the location rings a bell, it’s because the business has been part of the South Hill community for over 35 years. However, it changed its name a few years ago from S&B Donuts to the Donut Shop

The moment you set foot inside the small space, you'll be surrounded by that irresistible scent of freshly-fried donuts. It's nothing short of heavenly! But what really sets this place apart isn't something tangible—it's the feeling of being part of the community. Take a look at this recent review, which sums it up perfectly:

"The best part of the town of South Hill, VA. This business has been a staple in the community for years. Their donuts are better than Krispy Kreme and Dunkin. Plus, they have delicious breakfast sandwiches as well."

The Best Donuts on the Menu

On the menu, you'll find everything from classic glazed to bite-sized donut holes and some truly creative flavors. In fact, at any given time, there are no fewer than 17 different varieties to choose from. Each comes highly recommended, but one flavor seems to stand in a league of its own: the maple bacon glazed donut. Locals love that these donuts are freshly made and not overly sweet.

Of course, if you'd rather opt for something a bit more savory, you can enjoy a made-to-order breakfast sandwich.

No matter what you order, just be sure to take a donut for the road—these are too good to pass up! Have you ever visited this delightful donut shop in South Hill, VA?
